“For example, over the past 2 decades, the once-held
view of chronic HF as a syndrome of disordered
hemodynamics and fluid balance caused by alterations
in the structure of the heart has been succeeded by a
view of the disease that involves molecular pathways in
disarray. Chronic HF is now seen as a systemic illness
that involves interplay between myocardial factors,
systemic inflammation, renal dysfunction, and
neurohormonal activation. Our assessment and
treatment of patients with chronic HF has, thus,
progressed from a focus on improving hemodynamics
to measuring and modifying the maladaptive molecular
processes that contribute to progression of disease”

Editor's Notes

  • #16 HF as a systemic illness. HF involves interplay between myocardial factors, systemic inflammation, renal dysfunction, and neurohormonal activation. Biomarkers can be classified according to broad categories of processes that are involved in the development and progression of chronic HF. Several biomarkers have been characterized for each of these processes; these vary greatly in their ease of measurement, cost, turnaround time, and evaluation in the clinical setting. Traditional biomarkers that have been studied fairly rigorously appear in italics. Abbreviations: APO, apoptosis antigen; GDF, growth-differentiation factor; HF, heart failure; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule; MMPs, matrix metalloproteinases; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; TIMPs, matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitors.
